The distance reading on my Fitbit is incorrect

If your Fitbit shows you have done thousands of steps, but the distance reading is very low (e.g. 0.3 km), this could mean you inputted your Height incorrectly when you registered on your Fitbit app/ on fitbit.com.

Why does Fitbit say I’ve burnt calories before I get out of bed/ when I’ve just setup my device?

When you are asleep/ sedentary, you are still burning calories due to normal metabolic processes – this is called your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your Fitbit uses the personal information (height, weight, age and gender) that you inputted when you registered your device, to calculate your BMR. Because your Fitbit resets at midnight each night, when you wake up in the morning (before you’ve done any steps) you will see that you have burned calories. These are calories burned due to your BMR between midnight and when you wake up.

Your Charge HR and Surge (which have PurePulse Heart Rate built-in) will use your heart rate readings as part of calculating your BMR and your calories burned throughout the day.

When setting up your Fitbit for the first time, you will notice that it shows you have already “burned” calories. This is normal as your Fitbit is estimating how many calories you would have burned from midnight to the time you set up your device (based on your BMR).

Please do not wear you Fitbit in the pool, shower or bath – it is not waterproof. The devices cannot withstand the force associated with swimming strokes, and showering/ bathing with your device on will get water/ steam irremovably into the display.

If your Fitbit device has water damage, please contact Fitbit Support via contact.fitbit.com.

My Fitbit got wet/ fell into water

Please see steps in the below link to try recover your device:

Place your tracker into a bowl of dry rice for 24 hours (the rice extracts moisture).

After your tracker has been in rice for 24 hours, attempt to restart your tracker using the instructions in this link: http://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/How-do-I-restart-my-tracker.

If your Fitbit device has water damage, please contact Fitbit Support via contact.fitbit.com.

We have a strict policy regarding minors. Fitbit is not directed at persons under the age of 13 years. We do not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from children under 13 years.

Your Fitbit has built-in PurePulse heart rate tracking, which is the only heart rate technology to offer automatic, continuous wrist-based tracking for all-day health insights and workout intensity. It is uniquely designed to measure heart rate all day, with always-on optical heart rate sensors that still maintain extended battery life. PurePulse allows you to accurately track workout intensity and calorie burn with finely tuned algorithms that provide insight through interactive charts and graphs.

Please see here for our Care tips: https://www.fitbit.com/productcare. Please remember to use a clean, dry/ slightly damp cloth to clean your Fitbit off every now and then (especially after a workout), and be careful not to wet your Fitbit device/ screen as it is not waterproof.
